The official organizer of Polyglot Gathering 2018 is E@I, a non-profit organization based in Slovakia, which coordinates various projects supporting language learning (lingvo. info, slovake.eu, lernu.net, deutsch.info, mluvtecesky.net, russky.info among others). Polyglot Gathering 2018 has been prepared for you by: Join us on twitter.com/PolyglotGat, tweet with #polyglotgathering For live updates from the organizers and participants use Telegram: https://t.me/polyglotgathering Welcome Welcome 3 Welcome! / Ahojte! / Saluton! We are so happy to welcome you all to the fifth edition of the Polyglot Gathering, held for the second time in Bratislava, Slovakia! It is the largest one so far, with more than 500 participants from more than 50 countries. The Polyglot Gathering originated as an event held in 2014 by Judith Meyer, Chuck Smith and Martin Sawitzki. They loved the first Polyglot Conference in Budapest organized by Richard Simcott and wanted to create more opportunities for the polyglot community to meet, talk about languages, talk IN languages and just hang out with like-minded people. Today, there is a large community of polyglots and language enthusiasts meeting regularly at language events such as the Polyglot Gathering, the Polyglot Conference (this year in Ljubljana, Slovenia) and LangFest (in Montreal, Canada). If you are new to it, welcome! If you’ve been to any of these events, welcome back! You’ll definitely recognize a few faces. (If you’re not sure what language you spoke with them – check their badge with the language flags! Who knows, you might have a new language in common since your last meeting...) This year, we are gathering in Bratislava for the second time because last year’s participants loved it so much here. The Economics University gives us great opportunities to listen to interesting talks (which will be available on Youtube afterwards), participate in workshops (both language-related and non-language-related ones), enjoy lunches and dinners together in the canteen, dance at a multilingual concert, taste world’s specialties at the culinary festival, exchange books at the book-crossing zone, speak any language other than English at the No-English zone, play polyglot games etc. Many of you will take part in great trips both in and around Bratislava. We can’t promise you the best weather for the whole 5 days but we can promise you FUN – as long as you are at least a bit open to meeting new people. You’ll see what a nice and welcoming community this is. Just go up to someone, look at their badge and ask them about any of the languages that you recognize from the flags. You’ll see how easy it is to start a conversation even with complete strangers if you know they have something in common with you – and we all do love languages! This is the time and place for you to make new friends, get to know Bratislava, learn interesting stuff about languages, practise the ones you know and fully enjoy this Polyglot Gathering! In the name of the whole team of individual volunteers, Lýdia Machová and Peter Baláž Opening speech 4 Opening speech Dear polyglots, ladies and gentlemen, it is of an utmost honor of mine to welcome you here now, again after a year, welcome you to Slovakia, a country in central Europe, which boasts a multilingual environment. It brightens my mood to see that after last year’s experience you decided to organize the event in Bratislava again. I believe, that also this time round, you will find many places and people of interest, hence reaching what you had set out for. Surely enough, it has come to your attention that Slovakia presented an active attitude toward multilingualism during its presidency of the council of the EU, whilst a specific result of these activities was the so-called Nitra Declaration (“Nitrianska deklarácia”). Multilingualism is also an important topic within our education system, especially when linked up with the reality of things, that a large number of Slovak citizens associate themselves with a number of national minorities. Nowadays we therefore have schools where studies take place in Hungarian, Ukrainian, Rusyn, German or Bulgarian languages. We support the addition of another language apart from English at Secondary and High schools, where students can choose from German, French, Russian, Spanish and Italian. From each of the aforementioned languages we annually have students taking their high school leaving exams also for the given language. The European Union is built on multilingualism and the ability to speak at least one foreign language should turn into a standard for all citizens of the Union. Free movement of labour and the Schengen Area have created unique opportunities in Europe allowing people to travel not only for work but also for their holidays and fun. At the moment this is a peerless opportunity to get to know new cultures and nations and to strengthen the subconscious in regards to the European Identity of us all. Dear participants, allow me to wish you a pleasant stay in the capital and the most fitting of work atmospheres. I hope that what you take away with you is memories of lovely moments and the decision to come visit us again as well as a spark, a spark that will light the curiosity to get to know our culture and of course sights and monuments. Martina Lubyová, Minister of Education, Science and Sport of Slovakia Conference organizers Conference organizers 5 Lýdia Machová: Head organizer Lýdia is a professional conference interpreter and language mentor from Slovakia. As an autodidact who learns a new language every two years, she believes the secret to language learning is finding the right method (for yourself) and keeping at it long enough in a systematic way. As a language mentor at www.languagementoring. com (www.jazykovymentoring.sk in Slovakia), she advises people to achieve just that. She currently speaks 9 languages (Slovak, Czech, English, German, Spanish, Polish, French, Esperanto, Russian in the order of learning). Peter Baláž: Head organizer Peter is an Esperantist, publisher and editor; he was selected as the 2012 Esperantist of the Year. Baláž lives in his hometown of Partizánske and speaks, to various degrees, Slovak, Czech, German, Polish, Russian and English, as well as Esperanto. Peter is especially active in the international Esperanto movement and educational projects, and in 2005 he became the coordinator of E@I. He is also known as an organiser of international events (mainly, but not only, Esperanto-meetings). He is a former board member of Wikimedia Slovakia and, since September 2012, a member of its Revision Committee. He owns the Slovakia-based publishing firm Espero, founded in 2003, which publishes mainly Esperanto works.

    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

    Spring 2018 Honors Colloquia AIST 4003H 001: EARLY CHINESE EMPIRES Professor: Rembrandt F. Wolpert Colloquium Type: Humanities Taking the Silk Road as our main artery, we shall concentrate on the most colorful changes in multi-ethnic, multi-cultural medieval China from the period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and in particular from the rise and following unification of Northern China. Under the Northern Wei (386–534), to the subsequent unification of North and South under the Sui (589–618), through the resplendent Tang (618–907) and the most cultured of all Chinese dynasties, the Song (960–1279), the martial Jin (115–1234), to end with the culmination of power (at a price) in the largest empire emanating from Chinese soil, the Yuan (1271–1368). AIST 4003H 002: READING JAPANESE NOH AS CULTURAL HISTORY Professor: Elizabeth Markham Colloquium Type: Humanities We shall use original Noh chant books (utai-bon) alongside translations of librettos. Most plays will be viewed on film; the others listened to while reading. Our focus will be on the historical and the contextual: we shall work with the earlier poetry, songs, and dance-tunes, referred to as nostalgia in the plays, and also with early Buddhist, theatrical, and secular musical forms that have contributed to and borrowed from Noh. The course does not require specialized knowledge of music, nor of East Asian languages, and it is open to majors in any field. Students address their particular interests via individual projects, culminating in an extended research essay. AIST 4003H 003: UNCOVERING HEIAN JAPAN (794--1192) Professor: Elizabeth J.

The major types can be roughly defined as: East Asian with its origins in Imperial China and now encompassing modern Japan and the Korean peninsula; Southeast Asian which encompasses Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines; South Asian states that are made up of India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan as well as several other countries in this region of the Vietnamese meal, in Asian culture food often serves as the centerpiece of social continent; Central Asian and Middle gatherings Eastern. Terminology "Asian cuisine" most often refers to East Asian cuisine (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean), Southeast Asian cuisine and South Asian cuisine. In much of Asia, the term does not include the area's native cuisines. For example, in Hong Kong and mainland China, Asian cuisine is a general umbrella term for Japanese cuisine, Korean cuisine, Filipino cuisine, Thai cuisine, Vietnamese cuisine, Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine, and Indonesian cuisine; but Chinese cuisine and Indian cuisine are excluded. The term Asian cuisine might also be used to Indonesian cuisine address the eating establishments that offer a wide array of Asian dishes without rigid cuisine boundaries; such as selling satay, gyoza or lumpia for an appetizer, som tam, rojak or gado-gado for salad, offering chicken teriyaki, nasi goreng or beef rendang as the main course, tom yam and laksa as soup, and cendol or ogura ice for dessert.

  • Study on English Translation of Tibetan Meal Names in Kangding Area from the Perspective of Cultural Translation
    2018 International Workshop on Advances in Social Sciences (IWASS 2018) Study on English Translation of Tibetan Meal Names in Kangding Area from the Perspective of Cultural Translation Jing Feng School of Foreign Language, Sichuan Minzu College, Kangding Sichuan 626001, China Keywords: Cultural Translation; Tibetan Food; Dish Name; Cultural Connotation Abstract: Language is the carrier of culture. Any human knowledge that wants to be preserved for a long time must rely on language, and culture is the connotation of language. Culture uses language as the carrier and is the main expression. The name of the dish expresses rich food culture connotation in a concise language form. As a manifestation of food culture, language witnesses and records the development and evolution of food culture. Translation is the most important way to exchange language and culture. Tibetan food in Kangding area is praised for its unique raw materials, ingredients and cooking methods. The name of the Tibetan food in the area contains a rich Tibetan food culture. Therefore, the Chinese-English translation of the name of the Kangba Tibetan cuisine needs to refer to the published Chinese translation of the Chinese cuisine, and it should also be fully integrated with the Tibetan food diet. Introduction Diet is the most basic requirement for human existence and a prerequisite for all human civilization. There is an old saying in China that "people take food for the sky." "Heaven", the supreme title, that is to say, diet is the top priority in people's lives. This is also the essence of Chinese traditional philosophy and culture.
